Ventrue

Observe the noblesse oblige of vampire society, though their entitlement and greed encourages them to seek ever more at the expense of others.

Nicknames: The Clan of Kings, Blue Bloods, Patricians, Warlords, Ambitiones, Power Mongers

Faction: Camarilla

Disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude, Presence

Bane: Rarefied Tastes: When a Ventrue drinks blood from any mortal outside their preference, a profound exertion of will is required or the blood taken surges back up as scarlet vomit. Preferences range greatly, from Ventrue who can only feed from genuine brunettes, individuals of Swiss descent, or homosexuals, to others who can only feed from soldiers, mortals who suffer from PTSD, or methamphetamine users. Ventrue can sense if a mortal possesses the blood they require. If Ventrue want to feed from anything but their preferred victim, they must spend Willpower points equal to the character’s Bane Severity.

Compulsion: Arrogance: the need to rule rears its head in the vampire. They stop at nothing to assume command of a situation. Someone must obey an order from the vampire. Any action not directly associated with leadership receives a two-dice penalty. This Compulsion lasts until an order has been obeyed, though the order must not be supernaturally enforced, such as through Dominate.
